摘要:
Skin topographical methods for quantifying pharmacodynamic parameters of a paralytic effect of a Clostridial toxin, such as a botulinum toxin upon a muscle, such as a frontalis muscle. The methods are effective in determining the potency of a Clostridial toxin, and in comparing toxins. For example, wrinkle reduction effects caused by one or more neurotoxins may be monitored, and differences in effects correspond to differences of neurotoxins.

A metered multiple aliquot/dose syringe includes a barrel having an open end and a opposing spaced apart port adapted to receive a needle. A piston is provided and slidably disposed within the barrel through the barrel open end and a push rod is connected to the piston for sliding the pistol within the barrel. Structure interconnected to the barrel and the push rod is provided for enabling stepwise movement of the push rod and the piston within the barrel and concomitant tactile and sound indicator of push rod and piston movement. A syringe within the scope of our present invention permits injection of accurate doses due to the physical stops or dosage administered indicators (i.e. elements 58 in FIG. 1, 22 in FIG. 6, 138 in FIG. 8, and elements 68 in FIG. 10) which can act to prevent hydraulic momentum from continuing to deliver fluid after thumb pressure is lifted off the push rod (piston).
